Preparing Leaders for Public Service
The Clinton School seeks students to build on their own unique assets, adding new skills and understandings that can prepare them for leadership in public service. The Clinton School defines public service as working for the benefit of others through good works in the private, non-profit, volunteer or government sectors. At the Clinton School, public service extends to personal dedication and selflessness that lead to building stronger communities and a more workable and responsive world. That’s why a large part of the curriculum involves community service learning.
Admission to the Clinton School of Public Service is determined by several factors including academic background, graduate admissions test scores, public service experience, and vision. In addition, all applicants should meet the minimum criteria for graduate studies at the University of Arkansas, which includes a 2.85 GPA in undergraduate studies. When completing the application, take special care to address each requirement of the admissions process. Only completed applications will be considered for admission. In addition, applicants may be asked to interview via telephone at the discretion of the Admissions Committee. Applications to the Clinton School are now being accepted for Fall, 2008, and will be accepted until March 1, 2008. All applicants will be notified on or before April 15, 2008, of their acceptance status. Applications received after February 28, 2008, will be considered as space allows.
